*'''a''' is the series version number. This remains at 0 until we feel we have all the basic functionality which is required for a feature-complete planetarium project. This core functionality is documented in the [http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pzCE9lji7oA_mC9xe5j6cPw Stellarium tasklist document].

+

*'''b''' is the major release number. Major release may include a lot of new functionality, or maybe just a re-worked internal structure. Either way, when this is incremented it's a milestone of some sort. At major releases it is expected that compatibility with older major versions could be broken. This includes scripting commands, configuration options, command line options and work-flow within the program.

+

*'''c''' is the service release number. Service releases are for bug fixes and may come with extra functionality as it is implemented. With a bit of luck, compatibility with previous service releases for the same major releases should be maintained.

===Special Versions===

+

* 0.10.0 beta. This release is tagged as a "beta" because the of the features which are missing: TUI, telescope control, scripting. The next version will be called 0.10.1, and should have at least a scripting engine.

* 1.0.0. ''If'' we ever get here, it'll be awesome. Somehow it always seems a few years off. Ho hum.

This includes scripting commands, configuration options, command line options and work-flow within the program.

c is the service release number. Service releases are for bug fixes and may come with extra functionality as it is implemented. With a bit of luck, compatibility with previous service releases for the same major releases should be maintained.
